Cinque Cose Che Non Sapevi Su IL Diavolo Veste Prada Leggi l'articolo su beautynews Cinque cose che non sapevi su IL Diavolo veste Prada Il Diavolo Veste Prada è stato chiaramente uno dei fenomeni letterari e cinematografici che ha segnato gli anni zero. Un'opera che ha consegnato all'immaginario collettivo alcune battute fantastiche, un monologo indimenticabile, un'interpretazione magistrale firmata Meryl Streep e soprattutto uno sguardo sul mondo della moda (e delle riviste di moda) che è diventato vera e propria "lettera scolpita". A distanza di 14 anni dall'uscita del film, ci sono cinque cose che (probabilmente) ancora non sapete sul Diavolo veste Prada. Ecco una piccola lista di curiosità sul film, su chi l'ha ispirato, sul cast (non è stato facile trovare tutti gli interpreti perfetti) e su alcune finzioni cinematografiche davvero insospettabili. Il budget per i costumi è tra i più alti di sempre Meryl Streep in Il Diavolo Veste Prada Meryl Streep in Il Diavolo Veste Prada PRI / IPA Per ricreare lo stile perfetto che doveva caratterizzare tutto il mondo che circondava la rivista "Runway" la costumista Patricia Field (già demiurga del glamour di Sex and The City e del recente Emily in Paris) ha creato un guardaroba gargantuesco con outfit firmati Chanel, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs e molti altri. Il valore dell'investimento per il film? Circa un milione di dollari. Il che rende Il Diavolo veste Prada uno dei film con il più alto budget per i costumi mai realizzato. Miranda Priestly non è davvero ispirata ad Anna Wintour pagina 1 / 4 Meryl Streep in Il diavolo veste Prada Meryl Streep in Il Diavolo Veste Prada Mymovies La cosa vi potrà sorprendere, ma c'è più Clint Eastwood che Anna Wintour nel personaggio di Miranda Priestly. Non stiamo parlando, ovviamente, del personaggio contenuto tra le righe del libro che, come si evince dalla biografia dell'autrice Lauren Weisberger, è chiaramente l'alter ego del direttore di Vogue US ma della sua controparte cinematografica. Per portare sullo schermo Miranda, infatti, Meryl Streep ha creato una sorta di mix di più personalità di cui solo una piccola parte è ispirata ad Anna Wintour. Miranda ha infatti i capelli di Helen Mirren, lo stile di Diana Vreeland ma soprattutto conosce l'arte del silenzio carico di significato portato sullo schermo da Clint Eastwood. Tutto questo è Miranda: personalità e carisma puri. La Paris Fashion Week non era veramente a Parigi pagina 2 / 4 Anne Hathaway Anne Hathaway in Il Diavolo Veste Prada The devil wears Prada, 2006 Per questioni di budget, le scene legate alla Paris Fashion Week non sono state girate davvero a Parigi. Mentre una troupe, infatti, girava gli esterni, le parti con Miranda sono state interamente girate a New York: quello che vediamo accadere al Ritz di Place Vendôme è stato girato all'interno al St-Regis Hotel di Manhattan e le scene delle sfilate son state ricreate nel Queens. Il ceruleo è davvero un colore così importante? Il diavolo veste Prada Meryl Streep in Il Diavolo Veste Prada Rex È forse un passaggio tra i più memorabili di tutta la pellicola: Miranda Priestly tiene una brevissima lezione di moda alla giovane e inesperta Andrea (Anne Hathaway) partendo dal colore "azzurro" del suo maglione. Sebbene ci siano diverse verità nel film e sebbene la pellicola metta in luce elementi del mondo della moda e delle riviste di moda sempre rimasti nell'ombra, il monologo di Miranda rimane una pura invenzione degli sceneggiatori. Pura invenzione. Anche se realizzata con pura maestria. Il ruolo di Emily ha richiesto 100 provini pagina 3 / 4 Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep ed Emily Blunt in Il Diavolo Veste Prada © Everett Collection Se per la scelta di Miranda, la Fox è andata a colpo sicuro ingaggiando Meryl Streep per 4 milioni di dollari, per il ruolo di Emily Charlton, altra assistente di Miranda, si è tenuto un super-casting che ha visto coinvolte più di 100 attrici. A spuntarla è stata poi Emily Blunt grazie al suo accento british e alla sua incredibile verve. Un lavoro decisamente lungo per trovarla, ma ne è valsa pena. pagina 4 / 4 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Faludi pointed out the media pundits who declared that while women had made unprecedented advances in the prior two decades and “equality . had largely been won,” women were suffering from “new problems that have no name” (Faludi x). Experts announced a plague of barren wombs, bad nerves, fear of intimacy, alcoholism, and chronic loneliness falling on women. The liberal feminism that emerged in the 1960s had created a woman who was successful at work but a wreck at home. Liberated from male control and pursuing their own ambitions, society had concluded, “Women were unhappy because they were free” (x). Faludi observed that the decade of the 1980s produced a steady stream of articles, books, and television shows all with the same message, “the awful truth about women’s lib” (xi). According to these sources, women needed men and stable domestic rela- tionships. By 1990, women had become familiar with the news that career success had reduced their chances of marriage and children, ensuring them a lifetime of unhappiness. Faludi called the unrelenting news about the dangers of success the “backlash” against women’s equality (xix). Film trends starting in the 1970s and continuing into the new millennium demonstrated the endur- ing validity of Faludi’s argument.

Based upon (a) archival, critical discourse analyses of men’s magazines (e.g., Esquire, GQ, Details) and (b) interviews and surveys with U.S. male consumers, we explore the complex relationship between institutional and everyday discourses of style. Findings include an historical “ebb and flow” in the level of prescription and description in fashion media discourse. We compare the prescriptive and descriptive language used by contemporary media and male consumers, and analyze this language in relation to visual inscriptions of masculinity.

  • Contemporary Women and the Trap of the Glass Ceiling in Chick Lit
    Vol. 7(10), pp. 159-166, October 2016 DOI: 10.5897/IJEL2016.0965 Article Number: 3E2B75860898 ISSN 2141-2626 International Journal of English and Literature Copyright © 2016 Author(s) retain the copyright of this article http://www.academicjournals.org/IJEL Full Length Research Paper Dare you rocking it: Contemporary women and the trap of the glass ceiling in chick lit Nour Elhoda A. E. Sabra Department of English, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya, Malaysia Received 10 July, 2016; Accepted 24 August, 2016 This paper argues that multiple truths can coexist, and beyond the romance and the pink flowery cover, Chick lit examines new areas in the modern women’s lives that feminists have not touched yet such as the impact of female in power on the advancement of female subordinate’s employees, and the reason that keeps contemporary women away from the glass ceiling. It demonstrates how Chick lit authors by bringing up these topics are allowing women’s movement to communicate with contemporary women. In doing so, the paper is going to do two related arguments: it will show, through the demonstration of Weisberger’s novels The Devil Wears Prada, Everyone Worth knowing and Revenge Wears Prada, how Chick lit has presented and discussed the systematic nature of gender discrimination and inequality that modern women face in the workplace, and post-feminist ideology as a tool to justify contemporary society anti-women hegemony. The significance of this paper comes from its attempt to open up a dialogue between Chick lit and women’s movement in order to cover some of the gaps in feminist analyses of Chick lit.

  • The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
    The Devil Wears Prada (2006) Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is an aspiring journalist fresh out of Northwestern University. She lands the job "a million girls would kill for": junior personal assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the icy editor-in-chief of Runway fashion magazine. At first, Andy fumbles with her job and fits in poorly with her catty coworkers, especially Miranda's British senior assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt). During a dinner with her visiting father, Miranda calls her; the airports in Florida where she is located are all closed due to a hurricane. Miranda orders Andy to get her a flight out the same night, saying she needs to attend her daughters' rehearsal. Andy hectically calls every airline company there is, but none of them are flying out. When Miranda does arrive back at the office she tells Andy she has disappointed her. Andy has a talk with Runway's art director Nigel (Stanley Tucci), who gives a whole new perspective of Miranda, her work and fashion in general. Andy decides to change and—initially with Nigel's help—gradually learns her responsibilities and begins to dress more stylishly. Although Nigel is blunt, a friendship develops. Miranda notices the change in Andy and gives her a new task: delivering "The Book" (a mock-up of the next edition's feature spreads) to her Upper East Side townhouse. Emily explains to her that she has to behave as if she is 'invisible' while she delivers the book. However, Andy is tricked by Miranda's daughters into going upstairs, where she inadvertently walks in on Miranda and her husband arguing.

    The Devil Wears Prada Lauren Weisberger Broadway Books Fiction 360 pages © 2003 Fashion-Filled Fun By Laura M Imagine being told to find a dresser located in an antique shop in New York City, without being told the name of the store, specific location of the store, or even what the dresser looks like. This is just one of the many ridiculous tasks that Andrea Sachs was told to do while working as the assistant for Miranda Priestly, the esteemed editor of Runway magazine. Andrea is a determined girl, who ends up working for the fashion magazine trying to get a recommendation from Miranda, which could get her the job of her dreams. Andrea’s goal is to become a writer for The New Yorker, but she needs to work for Miranda for an entire year before she can get there. The Devil Wears Prada follows Andrea’s journey, as she tries to balance her personal life and her job, tries to deal with her boss, or the devil who wears Prada, and gains exclusive insight into the fashion industry as she goes. A strong part of The Devil Wears Prada is Andrea’s comical voice that helps to move the plot forward. Her amusing inner soliloquys create a light and often sarcastic tone throughout the novel. When she is in the office and Miranda’s newest husband asks her about her life, Andrea thinks: 1 What’s going on? Hmm, well, let’s see here. Really not all that much I suppose. I spend most of my time trying to survive my term of indentured servitude with your sadistic wife.

  • Gender and Power in the Devil Wears Prada
    International Journal of Business, Humanities and Technology Vol. 2 No. 3; May 2012 Gender and Power in the Devil Wears Prada Julia A. Spiker, Ph.D. Professor School of Communication The University of Akron Akron, Ohio 44325-1803 USA Abstract The movie, The Devil Wears Prada, depicts female power in career, love, and friendship relationships in complex and often paradoxical perspectives. Female power relationships analyzed in the movie reveal that women use power effectively to compete in the world of business and to help other women advance in their careers; however, love and friendship relationships suffer as women succeed professionally. In spite of relationship challenges, such movies offer positive, strong female role model images for young women in the workforce. Keywords: female power, rhetorical criticism, devil wears prada (the film), gender studies 1. Gender and Power in the Devil Wears Prada The narrative of The Devil Wears Prada revolves around women. The main characters are women, as are the main sub-characters. They are women who are comfortable using power. Most female characters in the mass media “hold and use private power as wives, mothers, partners” (Ferguson, 1990, p. 218). The Devil Wears Prada is unusual in that the female characters are dominantly viewed in their roles as career women who use power effectively in the workplace. This research analyzes The Devil Wears Prada and argues that the main characters, Miranda and Andrea, symbolize two different societal role models for female power. The story line is simple. A young woman fresh out of college is looking for her first job and her break into the world of journalism.

  • The Devil Is in the Details: How the Devil Wears Prada Brands the Image of the Fashion Journalist
    THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: HOW THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA BRANDS THE IMAGE OF THE FASHION JOURNALIST BY PRISCILLA HWANG Introduction It’s the job “a million girls would die for,”1 if you’re into fashion, that is. And you have to be willing to do anything to keep your job working for Miranda Priestly, the terrorizing editor-in-chief of the fictitious Runway magazine. Author Lauren Weisberger illustrates the cruel and superficial world of fashion journalism in her 2003 best-selling novel The Devil Wears Prada – the adapted screenplay of the book was a box-office hit in 2006. Weisberger proves that working as a fashion journalist is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. Andrea “Andy” Sachs figures it out the hard way when she unintentionally finds herself working for Miranda Priestly as her second assistant.2 Inadequate at first, Andrea’s lack of fashion sense and sophistication is ridiculed among the thin, gorgeous employees of Runway. After all, this is the glossy world of fashion magazines where even a bad hair day can get you fired.3 It’s an exclusive universe of socialites, celebrities, high-end designers, sought-after photographers, and front-row seats during Fashion Week in Paris, Milan and Italy.4 It’s a members-only club for those in-the-know, and as Andrea painfully learns within a year, all you have to do to get there is scrape every inch of skin off your back to please the Miranda Priestlys of the fashion world. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: HOW THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA BRANDS THE IMAGE OF THE FASHION JOURNALIST BY PRISCILLA HWANG 2 Weisberger’s novel indirectly mirrors her own past experiences working as an assistant to an editor at Vogue, one of the world’s most prominent fashion magazines.5 Those in the fashion industry will confess – the merciless Miranda Priestly seems to be a carbon- copy of Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.

Author’s Preface It is clear that we are in a moment of massive cultural upheaval around gender . Stereotypical gender performances dominate television, film, and music. Our culture is overwhelmed with limited visions of gender that create distressing and unsafe conditions for those who do not conform to dominant cultural norms––from sexual harassment and assault to the rise in murders of Black transgender women . But this is also a positive moment . New visions of gender and gender justice can be seen in the #MeToo movement, in the many new gender expressions in popular culture explored in this report, and in the increased number of people who are creating change in industries and across society, despite not conforming to narrow cultural stereotypes of who can be a “leader” in politics, business, or media.
